Carthage's Wars of Expansion DOCUMENTARY

This history documentary follows up on the Rise of Carthage by taking a closer look at its Wars of Expansion. These conflicts in the ancient world are broken down into several theaters of war including North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Spain.

We begin the history documentary with a broad trajectory of the history of Carthage's Wars. Next we cover the military of Carthage including it army and navy. We then turn to the North African wars by which Carthage laid the foundations of its empire. Next we look at the wider affairs of the Mediterranean and how Carthage got involved in the affairs of the ancient Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans. Finally we look at the Spanish theater where Carthage finally expanded following the harsh losses of the First Punic War.

There is no better feeling than finding a decent history channel with a lot of content while being quarantined. Keep up the great work! :)

I have always been awed at the scales of these bronze/iron age conflicts. They almost seem entirely fictional in scope and intensity. Like something you might read about in warhammer and the like with massive fleets of warships and eternal reoccurring conflicts over strategically important locations like Sicily and Spain.

What an awesome documentary carthage is most certainly one of the most overlooked empires in history. Good to learn something new keep up the great work!

"One can therefore imagine cycles of conquest being guided by the economic interests of the upper class."

"War... War never changes."

Last time I was this early, Rome was just a bunch of weirdos on some hills.

I am Tunisian (and a Carthaginian descendant). Carthaginian Civilization is our Ultimate pride when it comes to our history. It is however rare (outside of Tunisia) to see things about it, other than the three Punic wars. Your work on this video is, the least to say, VERY good. I cannot wait for future videos.
Keep it up

*I can't get enough of Carthaginian history (which can sometimes be hard to find)... please keep up the good work and keep these videos coming!*

I love how Carthaginian expansion is depicted as purple dye spilling onto the map.

I’m always impressed by the ever improving quality and design of your videos Invicta.

Love how that large alliance had to form just to oust a small Spartan colony

[grahamperkins]

I have simple wants. More Carthage content warms my heart

[Dragons_Armory]

‘Boots’ on the ground ??? .... ‘sandals on the ground’!!

The (production) quality of these videos. Unmatched by any other history channel.

Great work ! As a proud Tunisian i really love how you handled the subject even tho the ressources on Carthage are pretty scarce.

[mindyourbusiness]

Man! Carthage was so cool. Hannibal was so close to breaking rome, I wonder how the world would've changed if Carthage won the punic wars

When Carthage loses a single battle against Rome "Last night the crying of the children kept me awake and I had a terrible vision, I saw the fall of our city.. bleached bones under a harsh sun.. Carthage... GONE, why would Bal send such a vision? He's not cruel he has watched over us!"

[reganbrooks]

I really appreciate the fact Invicta is doing a deeper series on Carthage because it's a State that I haven't really heard much about in the main stream. I'm very aware of the Punic Wars but that's about it. Keep up the GREAT content! I love it.
